• Foster a Strategic Mindset: Transition smoothly from standard classroom tasks to formal testing styles, building the higher-order thinking and analytical skills required for secondary success.
• Empower Strategic Revision: Use the integrated Strengths and Weaknesses chart to track progress and identify exactly which literacy components require more focus before the transition to Year 7.
